International Space Station crosses the disk of the waning gibbous Moon during daytime, Ocean View, Mount Mee, Queensland, Australia.

 

The area around Mount Mee was known to the indigenous inhabitants of the area as Dahmongah, a word meaning "flying squirrel" or glider.

 

On this day the ISS is the fastest "glider" to have ever crossed over Mount Mee!!
